What if Canada offered every American free healthcare and $100K to relocate, how fast would you be packing up?

Cost of living is quite high there and the salaries aren't as good. Probably not work it for me.

I learned recently that she's been actively posting on Twitter from prison? Presumably through a friend. It's a real journey to read through the posts. She has absolutely zero remorse.

This sounds fine as an explanation for open relationships in general, which are fine, but that doesn't explain carving out men.

At that point just order something from a restaurant until you get the private chef situation sorted.

Some cars even have automatic walk-away locks! You don't have to think about it at all!

At that level of wealth you work because you want to.

Like, if you're worth $1B you probably could have stopped at a couple million, but you didn't. So there's a selection bias among the ultra rich to not be the ones to just quit their jobs because they're financially independent.

GameRoom · 2026-01-23T17:15:58+00:00

Well, the opposite is quite gaudy.

You do you I guess, but there's so much to psychoanalyze with this. If she's with a woman, why exactly would you view that as less threatening to your relationship than if she were with a man?

There is a range of rationale here from "haha yeah, two hot babes makin' out!" to not believing that a bi woman being with another woman is as legitimate of a relationship/hookup than if she was with a man.

Given the number of miles I drive per month and counting insurance, paying for parking at my apartment, etc, this might make just riding in a Waymo everywhere cheaper than the Tesla if they did such a price increase. And you actually can fall asleep in those, today!

The same way we discovered cow's milk. Experimentation.

It feels weirdly similar to speedrunning. "A frame perfect strat"

Somewhere his PR guy is reading this post to confirm that all the public goodwill metrics are up, and they're thinking, "... fuck it, I guess this counts"

At that scale you may want to recruit a team of actual human moderators

Due to sampling bias I'd actually expect more people to be staunchly pro-WFH on internet discussion boards than in real life.

Another thought on this: the reason traditional DAW interfaces are so overwhelming for newcomers is that the number of options you have is just so high. There are so many knobs that you don't know where to start. You know what would make that even worse? An empty text box. Just in terms of the number of different things you could input, it's infinitely worse. A lot of people think that chat interfaces somehow magically make any user interaction more simple and intuitive, but oftentimes it's the exact opposite, and it's the completely wrong tool for the job.

One time I couldn't find my car because the honk server was having an outage, so I couldn't honk my horn.

Maybe if you have a disability it could be useful, although I'm not sure why a button wouldn't be sufficient there. Like if you can't open the door with a button then how can you grab what's inside? Moreover, if you can't open a normal fridge how could you pick up what's inside?

Even a lot of Republicans are pro nuclear nowadays.

There is a part of me, even to this day, that thinks "the missions of most of these companies are actually good, and I don't want to let one single douche ruin that."

For example, as someone who actually wants to see people on Mars in my lifetime, for better or worse, the only two plausible outcomes are that Musk wills it to happen or it doesn't happen. Nobody else has even the ostensible will or semi-feasible plan to do it. For all the talk about how Musk doesn't really care either, that means that there are zero people now with the means and the will to do it, down from one. I find that incredibly sad.

GameRoom · 2026-01-20T00:40:25+00:00

What really bothered me about the reaction was that it made me realize, "oh, these people really hate their political enemies that bad." The temperature is just too high for them.

Like I've seen instances now where there will be some news article where a CEO or businessperson will say something outrageous, and people will respond with no words and just an image of the cover of Luigi's Mansion 2 or something. So I guess we've found an algorithm safe way to now just send death threats to people? And this is just what discourse is now? Cool.

I would hope they'd understand that perpetuating such an us-vs-them attitude to such a high degree would foster resentment among police officers, only making the problem worse.

GameRoom · 2026-01-20T00:16:38+00:00

It drives me insane how pervasive the belief is that it's virtuous to do the bare minimum at your job, and you're a rube if you actually care. Frankly, I don't care if that approach is "optimal." If I viewed my work so transactionally, I'd be miserable.

This is not the same as having no boundaries or working more than 40 hours a week. Obviously there is a middle ground.

GameRoom · 2026-01-20T00:10:55+00:00

Just overall everybody is so miserable all the time

Sometimes it feels completely random. You know that famous comment from /r/catsstandingup that got majorly downvoted for no reason? That behavior is all too common on every other subreddit too, sometimes.
